II Folk Music Festival in Cortelazor

The Cortelafolk Festival returns to Cortelazor la Real on April 25th and 26th, 2025, offering a weekend full of music, culture and tradition in an incomparable setting.

The festival is born from the joint effort of neighbors, local institutions and businesses in the area. The schoolchildren have conducted interesting research on the roots of folk music and the participating artists. Meanwhile, members of the 'La Palomera' Association have created a spectacular handcrafted backdrop that will serve as the central decorative element on the stage located in the emblematic Plaza del Olmo.

Following the success of the inaugural edition, which featured outstanding performances by traditional groups and received an excellent response from the public, Cortelafolk aims to position itself as a reference event in the regional folk music scene. This year's program has been significantly expanded, offering a complete cultural experience with diverse activities for all audiences.
